Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2
Line and grease a large baking sheet with foil. Lay salmon on foil and season with salt and pepper on both sides to taste. Slip lime slices underneath the salmon.
Step 3
Stir together butter, lime juice, honey, and garlic. Pour mixture over salmon. Fold sides of foil up over the salmon (don't worry if it doesn't cover the salmon completely).
Step 4
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Step 5
Switch oven to broil and cook another 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.
NOTE 1: Don't stress about the size of your salmon fillet. This recipe is very forgiving and works for one very large salmon, a couple of medium-sized fillets, or even several small individual fillets.
NOTE 2: For an even lighter version, you can cut back the butter to 4 tablespoons instead of a half cup (8 tablespoons). Keep in mind though that for a very large salmon fillet, 8 tablespoons is not a terribly huge amount when divided between 4-6 servings.
